Welcome to my personal home page. I enjoy web publishing, and maintain several websites for businesses and organizations. Of course my own website is the last to get updated. So here I am finally getting around to updating my own site! So let me tell you a little bit about myself.</p>
<p>
I grew up in Western Illinois in an area known as the <a href="http://qconline.com" target="_blank" title="QC Online"onMouseOver="window.status='Quad Cities Online'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=' '">Quad Cities</a>. I now live in <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&amp;q=Jackson,+MI" target="_blank" title="Jackson, Michigan">Jackson, Michigan</a> which is in South Central Michigan. </p>
<p>
I have a fantastic wife (Heather) and two sons (Ross &amp; Rob).</p>
<p>
I enjoy all things technology. Since my dad was an Electrical Engineer and a Ham Radio Operator I guess its not hard to figure out where my intrest in technology comes from. </p>
<p>
I enjoy computer gaming espcially the first person shooters. I must confess I don't get to enjoy gaming as much as I would like too. My sons and I enjoy playing multiplayer <a href="http://www.idsoftware.com/" target="_blank" title="Quake 4" onMouseOver="window.status='Quake 4 Website'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=' '">Quake</a>, <a href="http://www.idsoftware.com/" target="_blank" title="Doom"onMouseOver="window.status='Doom Website'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=' '">Doom</a>, and <a href="http://half-life2.com/" target="_blank" title="Half Life" onMouseOver="window.status='Half Life Website'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=' '">Half Life</a>. We have been known to spend many hours chasing each other around inside a games. Ross and I have also started playing World of Warcraft. We have been playing<br />
Warcraft and Starcraft for many years. So it makes sense that sooner or later we would end up playing on World of Warcraft. </p>
<p> I wouldn't define my self as a sports fanatic by any means. However I do enjoy watching a little hockey and basketball. Especially when it comes to play off time! I have been playing in the <a href="http://www.cityofjackson.org/departments/parks/recreation.asp" target="_blank" title="Jackson City Parks &amp; Recreation">Jackson City Recreational League</a> the last 4 years. It's a lot of fun and great exercise. The other sport I love to play is <a href="http://waterloocroquetclub.com/" target="_blank" title="Waterloo Croquet Club">croquet</a>. I have been playing competition level croquet for 5 years now.</p>
<p>
Lastly and most important is my relationship with my Savior Jesus Christ. God has always been an important in my life. I am a member of <a href="http://www.tlcjackson.com" target="_blank" title="Trinity Lutheran Church, Jackson, MI">Trinity Lutheran Church</a> in <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&amp;q=Jackson,+MI" target="_blank" title="Jackson, Michigan">Jackson, Michigan</a>.</p>
